3. Push the console engine ON/OFF button to the “ OFF”
position (Figure 5, item 1).
4. Set the engine ON/OFF switch to the “ OFF” position
(Figure 6, item 3).
5. Place the water valve (Figure 5, item 3) in the “ OFF” position
(as required).
WARNING
Engine components can generate extreme
heat.
WARNING
If the engine stalls for any reason during
sawing, raise the blade out of the cut
before restarting.
10. The operator must recognize and adhere to the optimum
speed that the saw advances while sawing. DO NOT force
the saw in the cut. Observe the engine tachometer from time
to time to get the feel for a smooth sawing pace relative to
RPM.
11. Factors for sawing economy:
z Type of Blade
z Depth of Cut
z Sawing Speed
z Characteristics of the Material Being Cut
z Wet or Dry Sawing
Diamond Blades and Blade Speed
1. Diamond sawing consist of cutting WET (using water to cool
the blade) or DRY (using the circulating air to cool the blade).
2. Selecting the diamond blade type and grade defines how
the blade will perform both in cutting speed and blade life.
MULTIQUIP offers a full line of quality diamond blades
to match up with your FS3SP, that provide the highest
level of sawing value and performance
Blade Speed
1. A diamond blade’s performance is directly connected to
specific peripheral (rim) speeds.
2. The following shaft rotational speeds have been factory set
to ensure optimum blade performance.
z FS3SP 14” Capacity-3,200 RPM.
z FS3SP 20” Capacity-2,600 RPM.
WARNING
Operating saw blades at rotational speeds
greater than those specified by the manufac-
ture can cause blade damage, and may in-
jure the user or others in the operating area.
Finishing A Cut
1. Raise the blade out of the cut by cranking the Raise/Lower
handle counter-clockwise(Figure 5, item 10). Raise the blade
high enough out of the cut to clear the surface and allow the
saw to be maneuvered.
2. Move the engine throttle lever to the idle ( SLOW) position
(Figure 22).
